As a store manager for many many years in the past you NEVER leave money unsecured. I don't care if it's in a drawer or not you don't leave money as a temptation for anyone and this includes employees and customers. This sounds like an inside job because how did they even know about a back office and where were all the employees at? Something doesn't sound right with this and I'd start with the store manager.
